Trivia
- Batreaux is similar to the Mad Batter of A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening, as both are characters who take bat-like forms and provide Link with certain upgrades.
- Once Batreaux turns into a human, all the enemies at night in Skyloft disappear, excluding Remlits which instead become non-aggressive.
